Just as flicking on a flashlight reveals the objects in a dark room, pointing a laser at a cloud of gas can reveal a lot about the atoms and molecules floating in it. Zhili Zhang, a B. Ray Thompson ...
Thermosets, such as epoxy and silicon rubbers, are a class of polymer (i.e., plastic) materials that harden permanently when they undergo a specific chemical reaction, known as "crosslinking." These ...
This Saturday, May 16, is the 60th anniversary of the first working laser, achieved by Theodore Maiman at Hughes Labs in 1960. At the time, one of Maiman’s colleagues, Irnee d’Haenens, famously dubbed ...
Gaps in the coherence spectrum of diode lasers have been known to hinder research. Anselm Deninger and Thomas Renner look at how these gaps are being filled and the applications that are benefiting ...
The article reviews laser processing methods that enhance micro-LED displays, addressing optical challenges and improving fabrication precision and efficiency.
Yb-doped CaGdAlO4 crystal (Yb:CALGO) is now recognized to exhibit outstanding properties for the production of high-power and ultra-short laser pulses. It has the broad and smooth emission bandwidth ...
